 This Guy is Spot On July 17, 2009

I usually don't read books like this. Beck rants and raves a little in this book, but the message is spot-on: our government's leaders, whether Democrat or Republican, are out of control and we need to take America back. Go vote, be involved, express your opinion, and get others involved as well. My generation can't afford to pay for what my parents and grandparents' generation put us in hock, and my kids and their kids really don't need to be saddled with all of this social welfare spending.

Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine
I highly recommend this book as an apolitical read. Both Liberals and Conservatives will find castigation of Democrats and Republicans. The point is that they have both lead us away from the Constitution and our founding principles.

This book is very pointed, and spares no sides. I think is is actually harder on the conservative side, as that is where the author comes from (clean your own house first). It explains in the shortest terms possible the mess we're in, and the lead up to it. It is a complicated mess, and kudos to Beck for condensing it so well. This is a call to action. If you want to just sit on your sofa, and let the tsunami just flow over you, don't get this. For many who are just waking up, this will hopefully motivate you to dig even deeper, and get more information. Verify the sources; they're good. Most of the arguments on the other side are merely grandstanding, insults, veiled threats, scorn, the double standard, and childish prattery - but few, if any, verifiable facts. This is full of those. I don't agree with every prediction, in the fullest sense, but Beck is putting his thoughts out honestly, with his passion displayed. I don't expect authors to get everything 100%; who really knows the 100%? I like it when an author has some humility.

If our mainstream media were doing their job, writing the facts rather than PR for Obama, this book would not be so important. But since they don't, every American should read this to learn the truth of just how our political leaders are taking this country to economic ruin.
An easy read, written in everyday language.

This was a very interesting book, and the price is unbeatable. I look at my paycheck every week and add up all the social security taxes that are being withheld from me, and I'll probably never see it. Very frustrating. This book covers the disasters of social security and medicare, along with many other important topics. These two government programs alone could bankrupt our country. If government run healthcare for our seniors is a disaster, what do you think will happen when it runs EVERYONE'S healthcare....bankruptcy? READ THIS BOOK....It was a wake up call for me.
